Autumn has officially arrived. The leaves are just starting to turn color and the drizzle/mist and chill wind has arrived.
It makes for a moody and yet lovely photograph, don’t you think?

I’m a Semi Finalist!!
I always have said if I could figure out how to make money from my photography, I would love to do it. It’s something I love to do – and I am practically obsessed with it.
A couple weeks ago, they had a contest at work – and I decided to enter a few photos in the competition. This was one of them:
I found out this week that my sunflower got noticed… under “seasons” and is being voted on as a semi finalist. Cross your fingers for me !
Some stats on the contest –
Over 6,000 images were submitted to
8 Different Categories
8 Different Categories
which leaves 48 pictures that made it into the semi finals;
or less than 1% chance that my photo would make it that far.
I’m pleased as punch to have one of mine picked – and even if it doesn’t win (my favorite above isn’t my picture – it’s the lily pad and lily) I’m just darn happy.
Hansesail Trip – & Photos
For those of you not on my Preferred list – I’m reposting part of an earlier blog…
Earlier in August, I did make one trek with Micha (prounounced Me-sha) to Rostock. I got to see the Hanse Sail 2008 – which is a parade of some 200 tall ships (clipper ships, whaling ships, and transport ships) and a race between them out on the high seas. You know me – and all the pictures. Here’s a few of the best.
